MOUNT WASHINGTON— At the Mount Washington Animal Clinic, the veterinarians are going out of their way to ensure both pets and people are comfortable during the visit.
“We try to make it about the people, as well as the pet,” Dr. Jim Cecil said.
Cecil started the practice in 1975 after realizing there wasn’t a vet in Mount Washington at the time.
His initial goal was to have a mixed practice with mostly large animals, such as horses and cows.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Bullitt Countians who wish to be notified of weather events will have to sign up on a new regional system.

From foreclosures to property owners just not keeping up their homes, officials are questioned by residents on what can be done.
In the city of Hebron Estates, commissioners approved placing $5,000 into the annual budget for cleanup projects.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- When he tendered a letter on Feb. 9, 2016, Scott Ellis intended to resign from the office of mayor.
But what Ellis really did was resign his duties, not the office.
As a result, Bullitt Circuit Judge Rodney Burress ruled late Tuesday that Ellis’ letter of resignation did not comply with state statute.
However, the question is whether Ellis will reassume his position as mayor.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- With the judge’s ruling, six individuals were suddenly left with campaign materials that aren’t worth a whole lot.
When Scott Ellis resigned, a vacancy was supposedly created with an election for the final two-plus years of the mayoral term on the ballot.
However, Bullitt County clerk Kevin Mooney said the election will not be held and names will not appear on the ballot in November.
